Want to ensure there is adequate freespace, not too many splits, etc.

Is there an ACF2 utility to do something like this?

Component : CA PAM Client for Linux for zSeries

Resolution

Acf2 does not offer any utilities for examining the database.

The ACF2 databases are a standard ksds VSAM database. IDCAMS offers commands to EXAMINE the structural consistency of VSAM key-sequenced data sets, DIAGNOSE scans a basic catalog structure (BCS) or a VSAM volume data set (VVDS) to validate the data structures and detect structure errors, and LISTCAT.
